What I do support however, is a caring and comprehensive reallocation of units to those in greatest need. This can be done, in a manner that makes it worth the effort.<br /><br />As a former federal housing official, I can attest to the fact that one of the reasons CMHC and other government housing entities stopped funding new social housing was due to the concern that the housing was not always going to those in greatest need. <br /><br />There are many needy households with children looking for three bedroom townhouses. I think it is unfortunate that they cannot be housed because a potential unit is being occupied by a couple whose children have left home years ago. This is what I think needs addressing. While I do not pretend to know the exact number of units that might be 'freed up', I am told by Metro officials that the number is significant, and the number is very large, when one considers all the other non-profit rental and cooperative housing developments in the region.<br /><br />Housing officials should not be callous in their actions, but this initiative should proceed.Michael Gellernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088226422072866788.post-31850039156517067592010-07-05T08:37:12.727-07:002010-07-05T08:37:12.727-07:00In my neighbourhood, this is what already happens ...In my neighbourhood, this is what already happens with Metro Vancouver social housing, it's not a new idea at all. With devastating results, and with exactly the kind of cold, dispassionate calculation that appeals to middle-class problem solvers and disrupts and terrorizes poor folk in social housing.<br /><br />In my neighbourhood, in one year, I saw a mother lose the opportunity to reunite with her child, who went into foster care. She was required to keep a bedroom for her daughter for visits. But all Metro saw was that the daughter moved out. So, mother was evicted. No alternate location, no waiting until she could be moved within her neighbourhood or even the complex, it happened within a month.<br /><br />Likewise with an old man who's wife died. His unit was designated for two persons. He was evicted within a month of her death. Neighbours objected, but they have no say in the rules where they live. The old man was too distraught, refused to move, and his belongings were removed and left by the street for weeks. It was local kind souls, not Metro, who put them under a tarp and protected his things until he finally found a new place.<br /><br />Nice calculations. But people aren't numbers. The answer to one group not being adequately housed is not to inadequately house others to make room. <br /><br />These things are described are real, and they happen.<br /><br />Incidentally, you might tell Metro, and social services, how unrealistic is to require a seperate bedroom for every single child. This makes social housing completely and permanently out of reach for some families.<br /><br />Thank you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
